Across the Badlands/DLC #1 - Info Dump

In an attempt to keep confusion and recycled topics at a minimum, I was hoping we could all join together and compile what we learn from ATB in one thread, as it's happening.

Post *accurate* information here as you learn it, please do not add in your own speculative comments. Try to avoid double posts/posting the same content as someone else, unless of course they missed something. If you can, provide the timestamp of when the statement was made.

See you guys at 10

Let me know if I missed anything. I was multi-tasking.

Dueling
-Any other player to a duel, 1vs1
Battles end when one player loses all his/her health, or leaves the designated dueling area. No script penalty

Arena missions
-New Castithan figure in charge of the Arena
(Apparently this is the DLC storyline)
-Underground fight arena, series of challenges, each new challenge changes the arena layout

Castithan Blade
-Complete Arena mission line, or find it as a loot drop
-Takes up a main weapon slot, comes with risks timing/and may not work well on all enemies
-Tap equals a light attack, charged is a heavy attack

New vehicle
- the Reaper

Customization
-Six voice packs
-Stern veteran to cocky hotshot

Volge Sieges
Volge will be attacking key locations
-You will recieve a notifcation, and you must get to the designated area and defend it. New tactics and strategies will need to be deployed.
-Open World game mode
-Quicker time equals better rewards

Rynn back to the show, or any other crossover characters crossing BACK over?
-Can't confirm names, but it will happen

Elemental hellbugs here to stay?
-Yes, but will not be as frequent.

Will Cass ever appear in the show?
-Stay tuned.

Different physical features for Castithans?
-Eyes are identifiers, white skin/hair is a base trait

Episode Missions repeatable?
-Yes (clarification later)

New enemies?
-Yes. Volge being introduced with Sieges, more later

Rewind weekends
-Video game version of reruns, limited time windows to replay episode missions

How do you come up with the challenges for Challenge Hour
-Simple, specific tasks. More variety in later challenges. Will accommodate for different time zones and things.
-Stat tracking is being examined to look at more options.
-Suggestions are welcome
